Found an... interesting article about our cars today.
https://www.mcnallyinstitute.com/how...z-engine-take/
Apparently, "This Toyota is powered by a 0-liter four cylinder" and they increased the stroke "from 86mm to 86mm". Amazing. |

From an MIT grad no less. This article from the same author is even worse:

Given the incredibly broad range of article topics, drastically different writing styles from the same author, outbound links to paid services in articles (e.g. Research Paper writing services), and higher than average amount of trackers embedded in the website...the author of the AI that is putting these articles together may be an MIT grad. It's not a "real" website, just a money farm geared for better SEO.

It mostly consists of copy paste statements from this very forum.
gkubed summed up the reality nicely.

How to tell someone you have no idea what you're saying without telling someone you have no idea what you're saying.
